Mei are growlng more températe, rot because the law saya they shall not have a chance to get dmnk, but because pul. lic sentiment lmpreasea up)D them the conviction that they eansiot íifford to get dronk.

One is a group of figures in high relii'f to fill the pediment over the ma in entra neo forty-five feet Ioiiü; at the hase line and seven feet in the center. The second design of groups of statuary stands (ree above the attic coruice, resting on the base. five feet long, thret' feet deep and two feet high, sixty feet from the ground. These groups consist of a central wlnged figure, standing about ten feet high to the tip of the wings, and supported by smaller sitting figures. The compositions should be typical of woman and woman's work in history. Each design subnntted must be accompanied by an estímate of cost, with fullsize:l piaster models, delivered at Jackson l'ark, and the authoress of the design accepted will receive the contract for the execution of these fullt-ized models. Farmers, do not expect too great a price for your rheat.

This country has the grain and other countries have it not. Consequently oir grain -ill find a market.

What nonsensel The free trade idea put into practice would keep this country dralned of gold however, ior the manufactured arttcles we would have to buy, they would take good care, would be BUföciently high in price to more than overbalance what they would buy of Uiis country in rnw material.

Is there another country apon the [ace ui' the globe in which Labor Day can be celebrated aa ii Is in the 1 States ? Is there another country where the people who particípate in the parades of that day are as well dressed, as well fed and as generally contented aa they are here '.' This state of affaire lias been built ui by the American policy of protection, fostered and encouraged and sustained by the great republiean party. Tear down the solid walls jf protection and the laboring masses of the Qnited status wül become the same underpaid, struggltni? human machines that they are in other countries. It is not at all probable that the laborera desire to make that change.

Xo Bpeciflc amount lias been mentioned, bnt $100,000 can readlly be secured by voluntary contribution." lr. Shaw says the Engllshmen belleve thai Hie downfall of McKinley would naturally lead to the repeal of inany features of his tarifl bill.
